You’re not alone
If you are feeling like you are walking on eggshells- fragile and uncertain- it is because this journey is not easy. Maybe you think people around you expect you to bounce back quickly, as if nothing happened. But inside, you might be wrestling with questions they can not see: Who am I now? Will I ever be the same? How do I rebuild without repeating the past?
You may carry the guilt of not recovering fast enough. Fear of relapse might lurk as you step back into work or relationships. Setting boundaries can feel like a constant battle in a world that once demanded too much. You long for clarity, confidence, and purpose, yet still find yourself hesitant to fully step forward.
You are not alone in this. I have been where you are, feeling the pressure, the fear, and the uncertainty. What you are experiencing is valid, and there is a way forward.
My story
From overachievement to wholeness
Back in 2017, I was juggling a high-pressure international management role and caring for two young children, all while battling a rare autoimmune disease. Between corporate deadlines and countless doctor visits, I wore the mask of a superwoman- convinced that my worth depended on doing it all perfectly. But inevitably, I crashed into burnout. That breakdown wasn’t a failure. It was an invitation- an urgent call to stop performing and start becoming whole again.
A seven-week stay at a clinic didn’t solve everything — but it marked the beginning of a deeper journey back to myself. What followed was a layered process of healing — guided by intense coaching, deep self-inquiry, and spiritual growth. I dove into my roots and patterns, learning to honor the “flaws” of my story and recognizing each challenge as a source of resilience, not shame.
When I stepped back into the corporate world, I thought I’d pick up right where I left off. But something deeper had shifted- I wasn’t the same. I began listening to my intuition more, and it led me clearly toward a new purpose. In 2021, I answered that call and went through intensive training to become a certified systemic coach.
This transformation reshaped not only my career but my life- empowering me to guide others back to themselves after burnout.

A glimpse into my world
I am a nature enthusiast. Forest walks and seaside sunsets refill my cup and spark fresh insights.
A lover of free dance, I fully allow the music and words to flow completely through every cell of the body - feeling as if the soul is dancing and the body is simply along for the journey, allowing a deep connection with myself.
As a cultural explorer, I travel to connect with diverse communities. These encounters nourish my creativity and deepen my compassion. I feel most alive in places charged with strong energy and in the presence of people and cultures carrying ancient wisdom.
In the kitchen I am an alchemist. I believe healthy food is medicine and experimenting with nutritious recipes brings me great joy. By leaning into the rhythm of the seasons, I delight in transforming the freshest ingredients into meals that mirror the flow of life itself.
